Agenda
• Motivation
• Introduction to the Liberty Repository
• Using the Liberty Repository
• Hosting your own Repository
• GitHub and the Repository
• Summary
1

Motivation
• Liberty Profile is comprised of a continually growing set of
features
• Dev & Ops teams need different feature subsets are needed for
different tasks
• Web applications, OSGi Applications, Messaging, Databases,
Clustering, …
• Flexible server configuration allows servers to load only what is
needed
• Server configurations can dynamically evolve as needs evolve
• Users want it to be as simple as possible to find and use these
assets as and when they need them
3

Introduction to the
Liberty Repository

Servers
Simple server archive installation packages
Add-ons
Packages of capabilities for installation on a server
Features
Server capabilities as individually installable features
Tools
Developer and operator productivity tools

A typical usage flow
• Let’s see how the repository and install technologies
help in the life-cycle of a runtime install
• Initial Install
• Install augmentation
• Using samples & open source
• Adding configuration
• Packaging up the server

IBM Installation Manager: Introduction
• Common installer for
~300 IBM products
• Managed install option for
Liberty Profile
• Provides full and centralized
product lifecycle management
• From install, update (fix packs
and fixes), modify to rollback
and uninstall
• Install to desired level of service
in one pass
• GUI and command line support
• Command line or response file
for silent operations
• Interactive text-based console
mode too
17

IM: Installing Liberty Profile
• Basic procedure:
1. Install IBM Installation Manager
2. Specify location (URLs) of
product repositories
3. Install Liberty Profile to desired
location
• Three options to obtain product
repositories
• Local install via physical media
• Local install by downloading
electronic images from Passport
Advantage
• Web-based install via live
repositories
• IBM Packaging Utility is
available for creating in-house
enterprise product repositories
18

Demo
• Web site
• Archive install
• WebSphere Developer Tools install
